Yeah, Yeah we know....
Valve does some goofy things sometimes and this is just one example. They have decided to put their multiplayer shooter
Team Fortress 2 on sale
for just $2.49. The catch? The sale lasts until 5 pm Eastern time which means you have less than an hour to take advantage.
If you happen to miss out on this price deal don't fret; you can still participate in the game's Haunted Halloween Special. From now until November 2, an upcoming update for the game will add five specific achievements (
Candy Coroner - Kill a Spy disguised as your current class,
Scared Stiff - Cause the deaths of 5 players by exploding nearby pumpkin bombs,
Ghastly Gibus Grab - Collect 20 Halloween pumpkins from dead players to unlock a hat,
Costume Contest - Dominate a player wearing the Ghastly Gibus to earn your own and
Attack O'Lantern - Kill a player scared by the ghost haunting KOTH Harvest) that will unlock special Halloween themed hats for your characters. There's also a new holiday-themed community map called Harvest included in the update along with . . . wait for it . . . exploding pumpkins. Fun, huh?
Update: The Halloween themed content update is now available to download via Steam
